The messed up part of DAC reports.

Hell, I had a lady prime driver back into the side of my sleeper in Texas and I didn't let her report it until I got hold of the owner and convinced him that it was just another dent, no big deal. She hugged me and about broke down in tears when I told her to forget about it. I knew what would happen to her if they heard about it.

 

Driver. Find out about your states privacy laws and the state in which DAC does it's primary business.
When you were filling out applications you signed a consent form for them to collect and disclose your personal information.

Now it is time to withdraw that consent,it no longer benefits you in anywat for them to be disclosing your "file"..........in an interview simply state you had issues with identity theft and were advised to "tie up" loose ends.Which is the reason you withdrew you consent to disclosure.

 

I guess I got a ding too I rubbed a fence post backing In to a tight dock owner got rowdy and called my comp before I could even offer to pay for it. Thats what happens when uneducated people who have no idea how it could affect your future decide to act self righteous like they have never messed up along the way. You want details. Ok. Jumped from a 2012 cascadia ..in shop..to a 05 pete 379 on doubles turning radius ? Yea.

So I was backing in to a tight blindside fenced dock at the end of my 14. So my drive wheel rubbed the post and the dock guy ran and told the owner. Long story short gave me some crap called my company and its on there now. The only thing I could do is refuse loads going to that location. Zero damage. Me...lots of damage its crazy.

 

the dac report is not generated until you quit or are terminated and it is used by companies to blackball employees and keep you from getting jobs. The thing is that it does not even have to be truthful hire-right is not going to belive your side as long as former employer respond with some documentation

 

Hire Right has become a lot more careful about what they put on the report. !2 years ago they would put whatever the trucking company wanted. I keep an eye on mine. Documentation is cheap. They shouldn't be putting anything on the report without a DOT citation. It's just a waste of good paper.

 

OP... To be optimistic maybe this will force u to work for a company where u won't be driving a fleet spec'd cascadia or prostar making a whopping .20 a mile living in the truck... Just an idea

 

sounds to me like he'd be a candidate for a Teamster job. This way he can pay someone to protect his job.....

 

There is a company in Canada called The Professional Drivers Bureau of Canada that is very similar to DAC.

They are currently under investigation by the privacy commissioner of Alberta for illegally dusclosing drivers information.

Iam sure if drivers held DAC to the same level of scrutiny as drivers did with TPDBOC.......you would have far fewer issues with unscrupulous companies.
